Benefits of technology

This approach reduces production costs, enhances mass productivity, and achieves high gas separation performance with adjustable membrane dimensions and pore sizes, resulting in a flexible and efficient carbon membrane design.

Problems solved by technology

However, organic membranes have low solvent resistance and heat resistance, although they are inexpensive and excellent in moldability.
As opposed to organic membranes, inorganic membranes, such as ceramic membranes, have excellent solvent resistance and heat resistance; however, they have problems of high cost and difficulty in molding.
However, sulfonated polyphenylene oxide itself is not a versatile material, and therefore requires a synthesis process to sulfonate polyphenylene oxide.
On the other hand, the synthesis of aromatic polyimide requires a reaction in an organic solvent; however, since it is difficult to ensure the solubility in the organic solvent, a special production method is necessary.
Thus, carbon membranes produced using sulfonated polyphenylene oxide or aromatic polyimide as a raw material have problems of high membrane cost, because raw materials are expensive, and the preparation of raw materials and the membrane-forming process are complicated.
However, separation properties are low only with polyphenylene oxide; therefore, ensuring separation properties requires a complicated structure in which a sulfonated polyphenylene oxide resin is laminated on a polyphenylene oxide membrane, followed by calcination treatment, and the production process is complicated.
Accordingly, there is a problem of high cost, despite the use of the inexpensive raw material.

example 1

[0043]A spinning dope comprising 28 parts by weight of polyphenylene oxide resin (PP0646, produced by SABIC), 0.6 parts by weight of sulfur (produced by Kanto Chemical Co., Inc.), and 71.4 parts by weight of dimethylacetamide was prepared by first dissolving the sulfur in the dimethylacetamide, and then dissolving the polyphenylene oxide resin.

[0044]The prepared spinning dope was heated to 150° C., and extruded into a water coagulation bath using a spinning nozzle having a double tubular structure while using ethylene glycol as a core liquid, and dry-wet spinning was performed at a spinning rate of 15 m / min. Thereafter, the resultant was dried in an oven at 60° C., thereby obtaining a porous polyphenylene oxide hollow fiber membrane having an outer diameter of 1060 μm and an inner diameter of 930 μm. FIGS. 1 and 2 show magnified SEM images of the cross-section of the hollow fiber membrane after spinning and drying.

[0045]Subsequently, the obtained hollow fiber membrane was inserted i...

example 2

[0047]The hollow fiber carbon membrane obtained in Example 1 was subjected to a CVD treatment at 650° C. for 2 minutes in a propylene gas atmosphere. The magnified SEM image of the cross-section of the obtained hollow fiber carbon membrane was the same as that of Example 1 (FIG. 3). Further, the gas permeability test was also conducted on the hollow fiber carbon membrane after the CVD treatment.

example 3

[0052]The spinning dope prepared in Example 1 was heated to 150° C., and extruded into a water coagulation bath using a spinning nozzle having a double tubular structure while using ethylene glycol as a core liquid, and dry-wet spinning was performed at a spinning rate of 15 to 20 m / min. Thereafter, the resultant was wound on a bobbin while drying by blowing hot air of 220° C., thereby obtaining a porous hollow fiber membrane having an outer diameter of 450 μm and an inner diameter of 395 μm.

[0053]Subsequently, while applying a stress of 0.004 MPa, the hollow fiber membrane was subjected to an infusibilization treatment by heating at a temperature of 320° C. for 1 hour in the air. Further, the infusibilized hollow fiber membrane was inserted into a quartz tube, and subjected to a carbonization treatment by heating at a temperature of 700° C. for 45 minutes in a nitrogen atmosphere. Finally, a CVD treatment was performed at a temperature of 700° C. for 5 minutes in a nitrogen and pro...

Abstract

A membrane-forming dope for carbon membranes, comprising polyphenylene oxide in an amount giving a concentration of 15 to 40 wt. % in the membrane-forming dope, and sulfur in an amount giving a ratio of 0.1 to 5.0 wt. %, preferably 0.2 to 3.0 wt. %, of the total weight of the polyphenylene oxide and the sulfur, both of which are dissolved in a solvent that can dissolve these components. A hollow fiber carbon membrane is produced by molding the membrane-forming dope for carbon membranes in a hollow shape by means of a wet or dry-wet spinning method using a double tubular nozzle, subjecting the molded product to an infusibilization treatment by heating at 150 to 350° C. in the air, and then subjecting it to a carbonization treatment by heating at 600 to 800° C. in an inert atmosphere or under vacuum. When the product molded in a hollow shape by means of a wet or dry-wet spinning method is subjected to an infusibilization treatment by heating in the air while stretching the product with a stress of 0.002 to 0.005 MPa, a hollow fiber carbon membrane having excellent gas permeability and a further high gas separation factor (He / CH4) can be obtained.
